It is natural phenomenon that, as the level of customer satisfaction index increases, the ratio of satisfied customers increases. However, the effectiveness of practical application of customer satisfaction survey for improving customer satisfaction decreases due to structural limitation on data analysis and the abnormally outnumbered data. To cope with these problems, it is necessary to develop the new methodology to identify the strategy meanings and find the dissatisfied factors of satisfied customers using the satisfied customers reclassification. This study proposes the satisfied customer reclassification method based on 2 dimension model of customer satisfaction/dissatisfactions which is different from the previous one dimension satisfaction model. The experimental results show that satisfaction attributes are different from dissatisfaction attributes and they also have dissimilar roles and functions. With these results it is possible to maximize the customer satisfaction and restrain the customer dissatisfaction through the satisfied customer reclassification and achieve customer satisfaction management eventually.

In the current competitive marketplace of real estate business, tenant satisfaction measurement is one of the important indicators to monitor competitiveness in industrial property development. It has become an industry standard to measure tenant satisfaction, commonly called customer satisfaction. Customer satisfaction has become the widely used metric to manage customer loyalty (Keiningham, Gupta, Aksoy, & Buoye, 2014). The aim of this research is to determine the impact of property management services on tenants' satisfaction with the three identified variables i.e. facility management, perceived quality and lease management. Structural equation modeling (SEM) is applied to build constructs and test the hypotheses with the collected survey samples. Of the three variables, facility management is the most influential factor that leads to tenant satisfaction with industrial buildings. Next, perceived quality is another important factor that contributes to tenants' pleasure. Compared with these two, lease management fares worse, having the least extensive effect on tenant satisfaction, and could be disregarded. The ultimate impact of tenant satisfaction is about tenant retention and recommendation. The overall findings of this research will potentially help real estate developers to develop a better property management system, leasing program and tenant retention strategy.
